115. The Haunted London Underground

We have all heard of ghost towns, but what about the ghost-facilities that exist within some of the world’s most-populated cities? What happens when a location associated with something as storied as London’s famous Underground is abandoned? What sorts of folklore builds up around it? In this episode, Matt discusses two such examples and what they may tell us about how Londoners view themselves and their city.

121.: Pursuing Demons and Spectral Hounds – Ghosthropology

In this episode, Matt discusses two settings where Christians have told him tales of strange encounters. In one, there is pressure to see even mundane events as demonic activity, and in the other, there is room for ambiguity. Through this, we see how the same religion can produce very different ways of looking at the world.
